Hillebrand, We have a full-name policy in the AmigaForums. Please stop at the Forum! prompt, type OPTIONS, select NAME, and type both your first and last names. Make the change permanent before you move on to other work. If this gives you problems (it shouldn't), tell me exactly how you want your name spelled, and I'll make the changes for you. Thanks. (Only you and the sysops can see this message, or your reply to it.) —Betty

Just caught it, John. If you saw my message to Steve P., you know what I'm going through this week. Whew!! —Betty

I just now noticed! That's what happens when you try to do too much too fast! Not a good day for me, in some ways. My son's new baby arrived last night, a full month early, and has a few temporary problems – but costly ones, and he has no insurance! And Mike Todd and his mother are arriving from England to visit me tomorrow – about ten days. Both are very happy events, but were not supposed to coincide, and I'm in a bit of chaos at the moment. I'll catch Hillebrand next time he posts. —Betty

Wow! Busy, busy! I'm amazed you're online! 🙂 Hope the baby is OK!

The baby is still in the hospital – a week today. They hope to bring him home tomorrow. Every time I see them, they have 'decided' on a different name for him. I do hope they come up with something sensible! —Betty

When we picked "Caleb", we thought it was going to be a unique, uncommon name. When we dropped him off at day care for the first time, we were told there were at least two other Calebs there. Later we learned that there was a character on a soap opera named Caleb, so its popularity had been rising. But it's apparently always been a common name in our town… there were several Calebs in the high school classes, for example.

You never can tell, can you? When I chose 'Laura' for my daughter, I didn't know of any other couple with a child of that name – but within a year or so, it seemed to be everywhere. I guess it's time had come. I like your choice – and I'll bet he will, too. —Betty
